Last week Ken Ham, president and founder of creationist organization Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum, called for the end of the U.S. space program. The pseudo-science promoter does not believe we should be searching for extraterrestrial life. Why? Well, for starters, if we found alien life it would be damned to hell.

On Friday's "Real Time With Bill Maher," the comedian asked Neil deGrasse Tyson what he thought of Ham's ridiculous view. The astrophysicist and host of "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" kept his response short and right on point.
